The best picks around
In my opinion, these are the best picks around. You have very good control over your picking technique - it's like if the instrument was "closer" to you than with other picks. Using them is a quite direct way of playing the guitar. They are especially good for lead guitar and funky rhythm with strong strokes but I use them for any playing style or genre. The resulting sound is quite brilliant; for parts that need a more soft and dull sound I just use my fingers.
The picks last quite a while. I buy a new pack of 12 maximum every six months. That also means that they're relatively cheap. But keep in mind that they don't stay as sharp over time. The picks get a little rounder but can be resharpened through cutting it.
The only real thing Dunlop could have done better is the grip. When being new, they have a slight grip (not comparable to these Ibanez sand paper picks I used before). But this slight grip wears off relatively fast so the picks tend to slip through sweaty fingers. My solution is carving chaotic patterns in both sides of the picks with a sharp tool. This enhances grip quite reliably.
If you never tried these picks - do it! :)

Almost perfect
I wish they made them thinner, but apart from that these are very good picks. The sharper point has helped with picking accuracy massively

The best pick I've ever tried
The best pick I've ever tried - crisp sound, it makes playing faster and longer much easier - it helps developing precise and fast picking technique.
I've had almost all models and materials of Jim Dunlop picks and other brands too. I thought that secret was to go for thicker and thicker picks - I ended up playing 3mm and 5mm picks, but was never satisfied.
I use it to play fast metal on 6, 7, 8-string guitar and 5-string bass.
Eventually the tip will lose the sharpness, but it's worth it
